Ferrites run more efficent when hot. If you figure a max ambient
inside an enclosure of 50 to 70C. This wouldnt leave much dT room
useing an 80C rated tape. I took core external temp readings of the
24W one in about 27C ambient the core temp was in excess of 70C.

It's pretty common to run them hot touch one working under rated power
with a wet finger pssst.

The guy is a retard and deserves no information, and the idiot rejects
it anyway.
